I try to make it as easy as possible for people to manage their <br>
subscriptions. Each real time message sent out has a link at the bottom <br>
which is labeled "Unsubscribe" Every month a message is sent out to all <br>
subscribers with info on how to manage their list subscriptions. But <br>
still that isn't good enough, I guess.<br>
<br>
But I am not disheartened by the occasional wayward request, most of the <br>
time folks are really good about dealing with the Team Net stuff. A <br>
couple weeks ago the topic of email delays came up on one of the lists, <br>
and that turned into an impomptu fund drive to get a new server. <br>
Basically the current machine was brought into service 12 - 13 years <br>
ado. Hardware technology has changed a bit since then. Several folks <br>
took advantage of the donate link in the messages, and so far I have <br>
collected about $600 towards upgrading some Team.Net infrastructure. It <br>
would be nice to have a server with more than 4 gigs of memory in it. <br>
For comparison, though, attached is a photo of the specs for the very <br>
first Team.Net server circa 1990. It was one of the first publically <br>
available boxes with CPU speed exceeding 100 MegaHertz. Yes, Mega, <br>
today we are dealing with Gigahertz processors. And that first box cost <br>
just over $2500!<br>
<br>
Things have changed. But my dedication to keeping the lists on the air <br>
is as strong as ever.<br>
